I love this poem. The Pont Mirabeau is “mythique” in French, but as these photos show it is not “mythical” (=does not exist) in English, but “legendary.” (Which can also mean “does not exist” in more academic contexts, but in everyday speech usually has the meaning of “historic, extremely well-known” that “mythique” does.)
